Why Australia's Trade in Live Animal Exports Is World's WORST Practice

Animals (tags: sheep live export Australia )

Australia claims to have the best regulated live animal export trade in the world. But regulation is one thing, and enforcement is entirely another. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-live-exp orting-of-animals-from-australia-for-slaughter

Only 272 signatures - WHY???

The suffering of these animals is beyond comprehension - a huge stain on our reputation as long as it continues!

Only 272 signatures - Why???? I am asking the same question Pam since this petition has been out there for about 5 to 6 weeks. It's unbelieveable that so very few people care enough. Makes one lose faith and question the sincerity and commitment of AR members on Care2. VERY SAD!!!!

How sicking breaking my heart to see this sheep like this. I could not watch the video for I'm crying now that I can see. How cruel it would have been better if the ship had sunk and they drown than to go through this. My Lord keep watch over our animals. How cruel. I signed Thanks Anthony E.

Just written to the government: editor@culture.gov.au

Can't help wondering, why the live transport has not been stopped yet. What is wrong with our farmers that they are still selling their animals into this cruel trade. Is money all that counts? You should be ashamed, everyone of you, including Rudd, to condone this treatment of Australian Animals. Shame, shame shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
